Some? More likely "most." Interestingly, many countries consider contingency fees to be unethical, since they give the lawyer an interest in the outcome of the case. The lawyer's actions are then influenced by what he will receive out of any amount rewarded, not purely by what is just and fair. I can't see the plaintiffs' bar lobby ever letting it happen, but frivolous lawsuits would disappear overnight if we went to a "loser pays" system like many countries have.CA Screamin Dude wrote:Some personal injury/discrimination/etc lawyers work on a contingency fee, which means that their client (plaintiff) only has to pay their lawyer if the case is won or settled. Contingent fees are usually calculated as a percentage of the award.
I like contingency fees as it let's the client gauge the lawyer's faith in prevailing in court. Case in point. The HOA I live in kinda won a long, expensive court case against one of the owners. We should have been in second place between the bank's first and third position but somehow the bank got first and second position.BRWombat wrote:Some? More likely "most."
